Evening Barbecue August 7, 2011

Woke up at 7:15, ate a quick breakfast, stopped by lucas’ place and found out that his dad was going to take him a bit later, and arrived at church at 7:50 something even though I told people to be there at 7:45. Cleaning up the stage took quite some time, and we couldn’t get some sound stuff to work until about 8:40.

In the end, we were only able to practice with rob for about 20 minutes and less than 1 time through each song before the congregation arrived and we needed to begin.

By God’s grace, we got through the set without any disasters happening, and hopefully we were able to facilitate some genuine worship this morning.

I also had communion serving and emcee duties — the first time I’ve had to do all three in one service. Was quite an experience.

YG had cleanup duties today. A lot of us staff are double dutied for cleanup since we’re part of two fellowships (acacia and rhythm).

Wanted to ball in the afternoon, but everyone was tired and no one wanted to go. Went to jack’s place at 6:30 on short notice for a bring-your-own-meat barbecue. Stuffed myself with all kinds of awesome meat. Animals are so delicious.
